Members responded with empathy and personal experiences to the question about big toe pain, sharing a variety of causes including neuropathy from diabetes, arthritis, gout, EDS, fibromyalgia, and nerve damage. Several members offered helpful suggestions such as seeing a doctor for lab work to rule out gout, asking for a referral to a specialist, trying toe spacers available on Amazon, and medications like Lyrica for nerve-related pain. A recurring theme was that some days are better than others, and the community offered warm encouragement and hope for relief.

Gout can cause big toe pain, and severe too. Certain foods can cause the flare up. It might be good to see your doctor and get a lab work up. 💜

I get pain. numbness and burning in all my toes it's from my neuropathy from my diabetes. My endocrinologist started me on Lyrica many, many years ago for it. The Lyrica has helped my neuropathy☺️ but not the muscle pain from fibro☹️I don't know if this helps you or not

I'm surprised my toes are still attached. They crack or is it crackers. 🫠 I walk a lot and do yoga and am on my tiptoes quite alot with my yoga excersises. I think mine is the EDS it all confuses me. I get foot pain from nerve damage. My feet do go burning hot after walking. Now I know that's the fibro.
Hope you find some relief ✨️🌹🪻Peps 🥀
